      the episode of TANGLED WEB written by Scott Levy aka Raven retconned that Crusher Hogan was basically the headliner of an ECW-style promotion that had money problems and was having its talent picked off by a WWF expy Crusher Hogan's gimmick was getting over and Pete ruined it

      And Crusher Hogan was a Bret Hart kind of figure, who thought the ringwork should speak for itself and couldn't stand gimmicks So him adopting this smug monster heel gimmick was a reluctant choice he made to compromise his ideals to keep the promotion aloft and wrestlers paid

      It's the equivalent to how people think that Rob Van Dam might have saved ECW if he hadn't gotten injured when he did and had to drop the Television Championship, thus fucking up like several years of buildup Pete wiped the floor with Hogan and completely killed his heat

      The implication being that Peter's selfish grab at a cash payout (which was real money borrowed from the mob but never meant to be more than a storytelling prop) caused the entire promotion to fold and put dozens of professional wrestlers out of work, and ruined Hogan's marriage

      Ironically, by recontextualizing the Crusher Hogan story this way, it means that Spider-Man's origin story parallels the ill-conceived and ill-fated Brawl For All shoot tournament devised by Vince Russo Which meant to sell Dr. Death as a legit badass and instead ended his career

      Has any retelling of Spider-Man's origin story ever explicitly acknowledged the reality of pro-wrestling that people aren't supposed to talk about?

      That's the issue I'm talking about, TANGLED WEB #14 It literally starts with Crusher working a match with a Chris Jericho expy and then dressing him down backstage after the match for working stiff

      Replying to @Nymphomachy @arthur_affect

      If that's the case, then why is Spider-Man's enhanced strength and reflexes a factor if he's simply following a script like everyone else once he's in the ring?

      Replying to @cymaiden @arthur_affect

      Well that's the thing Crusher Hogan was specifically making it clear to the audience that he could take them in a shoot fight That was the gimmick, that he could take any audience member down in an honest UFC-style match

      Which is not a very smart thing to do, in a universe where people have superpowers, but at the time mutants weren't a known factor

      (And Peter isn't technically a mutant but a muTATE, which, well, is a whole thing)

          Yeah The MC2 universe made it clear that Mayday Parker sometimes resents her dad for passing his spider-powers to her because she absolutely LOVED high school basketball before they came in and permanently disqualified her from participating in league sports

          (I'm actually really angry that this distinction is even a thing because it's ignoring what the whole concept of being a "mutant" even means, like originally all "mutants" were the result of, you know, a random mutation at some point in time)

          (By the actual definition of a "mutant" then X-Men AREN'T mutants, they all just INHERITED the X-Gene from some distant ancestor who was a mutant but they themselves are just normal members of a subspecies)
